Así se llama la nada

I just want to make a simple point about evolution and God.

There is much talk about an ecological crisis, which according to some scientists is inevitable. This means we simply will not be able to avoid it and this also means our survival will be threatened. The reasons for this crisis would be our extreme consumption of natural resources, our unconsiderate ways against nature, the hatred and violence we apply on ourselves, animals, plants and mother earth.

So, we will simply need to change or die. Evolve or die.

The first fish to come out of the water did this not because they wanted, but simply because water was drying out. They had to evolve or die. This looks very much the same as our situation right now. I hope you can see this.

So, what does this evolutionary process require us to do?

One could say it requires us to consume less. Actually, it requires us to be more respectful of all living things, to be less selfish and more caring for others, to bind as the human family, to acknowledge that pleasure of the senses is not our aim in life. This is the only way we will consume less. It requires us to be more conscious about everything. It requires us to simply be conscious and present.

It requires us to wake up to our godly nature!

This way of living is what (really) religious people and spiritual traditions have been talking about for ages.I dont want to get into much examples about religious icons, but any curious person can look into sayings of buddha, christ, lao tse, krishna and many more.

So, why do people insist that God and evolution don’t go hand in hand?

In the next post, more about evolution and god.

Om namah shivaya

e more respectful

Money means we do not want to do things. So we get to do them if people give us money for them. Basically there is a moment of the day (work) where we do things to get money so we can make other people do things for us… or for money to be more precise.

But wait! there are some things that I want to do! And I don’t need anybody give me money to do them.

Some people think that if it weren’t for money nothing would be done. They don’t have confidence in human kind: thinking that everybody would be lying on their backs if they don’t have the incentive of money to do stuff. Probably for them it’s true, they are so caught up in this money game that everything they do is derived from need of/desire for money.  They probably wouldn’t know what to do with their time.

Or that’s what they think, they would probably need a lot of mind adjusting to be done.

And, there are somethings to do that nobody wants to do, like cleaning sewers. But these things should be less and less with the advancing of technology and science.

Hey, if you do not know what you want to do, maybe you could research solutions to this stuff nobody wants to do!

Eventually mankind will outgrow this idea of money (maybe money entirely, maybe not). This idea of money being the main motivator of human activity will necessarily be put aside. Money get’s us a lot of activity and things done, but it is somehow not natural. It is manipulated, forced activity.

You can’t expect a child to pass all of his courses with «if you pass this one I’ll get you the bycicle you want».

Take the film industry, there are some great films that move you deeply, touching a deep human emotion. And there are some films with a lot of budget for computer FX, cheap action, crowd drawing cast and taking advantage of a previous hit (Terminator 3 pops up as an example). You can see that the former kind was moved by a need to communicate or express something, whereas the latter was moved by the desire of making a lot of money.

Kids do not need money to play, they just do it: it is their natural expression, unmanipulated. And there is natural activity for grown up people, too. I refuse to accept this idea of the lazy humanity.

This may sound like communism but its definitely not. I am talking about unmanipulated human expression, not about eliminating private property, means of production, or evening workloads, blablabla. I am talking people doing things because they feel like doing. I am not talking about doing «all for myself», egoistic kind of things. I am talking people doing things for others because maybe seeing other people happy is part of our natural expression.

Maybe there is something that you like to do that also helps other people. Do you not agree?

A veces cuando vamos en el colectivo ni nos damos cuenta de toda la gente que hay a nuestro alrededor. Me gusta llamarlos «los extras». Los extras son personas que nos rodean todos los días todo el tiempo, pero no tienen un papel principal en nuestra película. Más del 99% de las personas que uno se cruza en todo el día deben ser extras. Seguro más.

Estos extras están por todos lados pero no los registramos. Estamos pensando en lo que haremos cuando lleguemos a destino, lo que vamos a hablar con las personas que nos encontraremos, personas que ya conocemos o que sabemos que vamos a conocer.

Planeando que vamos a hacer en situaciones que creemos que se van a dar cuando lleguemos a donde esperamos llegar.

A veces ni siquiera nos damos cuenta que estamos viviendo en este momento. Como si en este momento la cámara estuviera apagada, nos guardamos para cuando el director diga acción. Pero nuestra cámara está siempre prendida, siempre filmando. No se apagó nunca.

Imaginá un mundo donde todo momento sea un momento interesante. Donde toda persona tenga un papel en tu vida.

Este cambio en el mundo está en nuestra propia mente

Si tan solo abrís los ojos, vas a dejar de ver una muchedumbre amorfa para ver gente feliz, triste, enamorada, angustiada, apasionada. Si tan solo abrís los ojos quizás veas a tu próxima pareja.

A mi me paso!

Si tan solo abrís los ojos vas a ver lo maravilloso de la vida, el continuo derroche de vida y pasión, oleadas de energía por todos lados.

¿Y te la estás perdiendo pensando en qué le vas a decir a tu jefe?
